Job Description

About Us:

Coalition was founded by repeat entrepreneurs, Joshua Motta (Cloudflare) and John Hering (Lookout), with a mission to solve cyber risk. We believe that cyber risk is among the most pervasive risks facing society, and we've built the first holistic solution to it by combining free cyber security tools to help prevent loss, expert response to mitigate it, and up to $10M of insurance coverage to recover from it. Our technology platform encompasses insurance, threat intelligence, patch and vulnerability scanning, DDoS mitigation, ransomware protection, and more. Coalition's team of engineers, data scientists, security researchers, incident responders, and insurance personnel protect customers before, during, and after cyber incidents. Our insurance products are backed by Swiss Re, one of the world's largest (re)insurers, and Argo Group. Our customers are in every industry, and all across the US. We are based in San Francisco, although you'll find some of our team in more exotic places.

-Systems and data engineering: due to the large amounts of data we collect, speed and efficiency are perpetual concerns for our multi-worker architecture.

-Data science: using the data we have collected, designing risk-pricing models to better write insurance for technical vulnerabilities.

-Infrastructure: maintaining AWS, as well as building out local dev infrastructures, and ensuring scalability as our stack grows.

This is a generalist role, though it is possible to focus on an area of your interest. You will join our engineering team and work closely with our product design team. As such, this role comes with a significant amount of autonomy and responsibility. You should enjoy the challenge of building large, scalable infrastructure / components from the ground up.

Requirements:

We don't expect you to be an expert in our entire stack, but we do expect the following:

-7+ years of relevant engineering experience building software, launching products, and a solid base of computer science acumen.

-Bachelor's degree or equivalent

-Python and one or more of its web server frameworks (e.g. Flask, Django, Twisted)

We have lots of them. Check them out at https://www.thecoalition.com/careers

Location:

We are a semi-distributed team headquartered in San Francisco. We prefer that you be in San Francisco, but are open to anyone with a demonstrated ability to succeed remotely.
